Sampha and Little Simz link up on “Satellite Business 2.0”

The song is a brand new, fully-realised version of the “Satellite Business” interlude from Sampha’s acclaimed, Ivor Novello Awards-nominated 2023 album LAHAI.

Though they’ve talked about working together in the studio for years, “Satellite Business 2.0” is Sampha and Little Simz’s first collaborative release. Little Simz first heard the song live during Sampha’s run of “Satellite Business” residency shows in London and Brooklyn in June 2023. She later joined Sampha on stage in April this year for a version of the song at his hometown show at London’s Alexandra Palace, a show that also featured Ghetts, Lil Silva, Jessie Ware and Kokoroko’s Sheila Maurice-Grey.

"'Satellite Business' was one of the last tracks to be recorded for LAHAI and I’d always imagined a guest verse to expand on it. Simz’s music has been close to my heart and ears for sometime now which makes her being on this song that more special," Sampha says. "She’s one of my favourite artists. Her confidence and creative bravery are so refreshing, it’s amazing to see someone giving so much to their art”.

“I’m so honoured to be a part of this record with Sampha. He truly is one of the most important voices in music today. We have great musical chemistry and respect of each other’s process. Glad I got to stand alongside him on this," Little Simz adds.
